The Sky Dome

(from June 8)

I know it's the Rogers Centre now but it'll always be the Sky Dome to me. Thank god the roof was open, the tickets cheap ($9), and three quarters of the Baseball Project were in the house! I was only able to stay for four innings before heading for sound check at the Molson Amphitheatre, but Steve and Linda stayed on for the Canadian version of Our National Pastime. I left just after seeing an incredible play by Jays catcher Rod Barajas, reaching around the screen behind home plate to snag a foul pop off the bat of Melvin Mora. What I didn't see was Mora getting ejected for arguing the legality of the play, apparently. Blue Jays rallied to beat the Orioles 5-4, and it looked like Vernon Wells of old after a stint on the DL. Always a joy to watch Roy Halladay work, even on an abbreviated stay at the park. - Scott
